But Her Feet Show It, They're Longfellows!

Tyrants fear the poet.

Now that we know it

we can’t blow it.

We owe it

to show it

not slow it [More]

Tell me that isn't raw talent right there.

Although I confess I'm more of a "There once was a man from Nantucket" kind of poetry aficionado ...

    You should have a talk with the Minbari ambassador.

    Jeffry Sinclair : A poem - A story in meter or rhyme.
    Delenn : Ahh, there once was a man from Nantucket...
    Jeffry Sinclair: [chuckles] You've been talking to Garibaldi again, haven't you?
    Delenn: Yes. How did you know?

    I didn't even have to look to know this was the product of somebody's melanin-inspired superiority.

    David,
    You are the first person I have "met" (in cyberspace) in years who knows the poetic masterpiece "The Man from Nantucket". Since you are conversant with this fine verse, I will forego repeating it here.

    You know, that might be atrocious poetry, but if you added a proper back beat to it, it has the potential to be entirely talentless rap.

    DDS,

    I would remind you her most powerful quote is from Atonement; it burns in my mind to this day - and it's relevant TODAY:

    https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0517630/characters/nm0001245

    Grey Council #1 : Delenn, we need to strike back, but the Council is divided. Should we follow them back to their base, take revenge, or do we wait, try and find out what happened? Your's is the deciding vote, Delenn.

    Delenn : [Cradling Dukhat's head in her lap] He was the best of us... they struck without provocation, there was no reason... animals! Brutal!

    [she gently lays Dukhat down and stands]

    Delenn : They deserve no mercy. Strike them down!

    [she beats on the Council member's chest in grief and anger]

    Delenn : Follow them back to their bases and kill them, all of them. ALL of them! NO MERCY!

    Goah. She has two "mans" in her name! I wonder if she is changing it to Awomanda Gorwoman?
